Fir Plantation Shutters in Hampton, NH

We have really been having some fun lately working with some new clients who are building the most beautiful Craftsman style home in the North Beach area of Hampton, NH. The main floor of this home has soaring cathedral ceilings and an amazing amount of over sized windows. The window trim is all straight grain fir, in traditional craftsman styling. the ocean front windows will have natural weave grass cloth shades to accent the woods within the room, and to maximize the view. The West facing windows have a less desirable view and needed a treatment that could hide the view and block the heat of the westerly sun. Our solution is to match the grain and color of the existing trim with plantation shutters made form the same wood. The clients had no idea that this was possible and are absolutely thrilled. I am looking forward to the installation so that I can share some photos with you.

Plantation Shutters are among the most popular form of window treatments available today. When quality wood shutters are installed properly, they become an extension to the architecture, adding a timeless beauty that cannot be matched by any other form of window covering. The ease of light and privacy control, low maintenance and investment value are several other reasons for the strong interest in shutters.

Shutters are available in a number of different materials, styles and louver sizes. Shutters can be found in solid vinyl, vinyl coated wood, and various wood species. Traditional or colonial shutters are available with 1 1/4″ louvers to accent historically accurate homes.

Plantation style shutters are the most popular with louvers available in 1 7/8″, 2 1/2″, 3 1/2″, 4 1/2″ and 5 1/2″. The larger louver sizes allow more light to shine through the opening when the louvers are open, giving an almost unobstructed view of the outside.

Properly designed and installed plantation shutters will add beauty andvalue to any home for many years. Our preferred manufacturer of shutters is Kirtz Shutters, made in Stillwater, OK. These craftsmen build shutters from furniture grade woods in any shape of window made. See the beauty of this amazing product at www.kirtz.com or at www.excitingwindows.net.
